(Des Moines) The Iowa Insurance Division’s Fraud Bureau says 44-year-old Benjamin Doak, of Oskaloosa, has been charged with one count of Forgery, one count of Fraudulent Sales Practice over $10,000, one count of theft in the first degree over $10,000, and one count of Identity Theft.
The charges against Doak stem from an investigation that began in October 2024. According to the criminal complaints filed by the Iowa Insurance Division’s Fraud Bureau, while Doak was employed as an insurance producer, he created fraudulent insurance applications in the names of his former clients without their knowledge or consent. Doak forged his clients’ signatures and altered their personal information on the fraudulent insurance policy applications, unlawfully obtaining over $10,000 in commissions to which he was not entitled.
Doak was booked into the Mahaska County Jail on March 3, 2024. He was released after posting a $10,000 bond.
